According toThe
Guardian, Leicester City sensation Jamie Vardy has signed a new contract
that will expire only in 2019.
The
source also reports that Vardy, who currently earns £40,000 a week on a
deal that has the best part of two and a half years to run, has been given a
significant salary hike as a reward for his remarkable progress.
In May
2012, Vardy signed for Leicester City in the Football League Championship for a
non-league record transfer fee of £1 million, and represented the club in the
Premier League after winning the Championship in 2014. Vardy made his
international debut for England in 2015.
England
striker Jamie Vardy has broken former Manchester United star Ruud Van
Nistelrooy’s Premier League record by scoring in an 11th consecutive top flight game.
Taking to
Instagram to congratulate Vardy on his new feat, former record holder Ruud Van
Nistelrooy wrote: “Well done vardy7! You’re number one now
and you deserved it.”
The
former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has explained that Leicester City
forward Jamie Vardy will succeed anywhere.
Mourinho
said: “He is top scorer and it is normal
that big clubs want him. Even at a big club transitions are important,
fast players are important, people to attack space behind defenders are
important.”
“Obviously
in the big teams sometimes we face very low blocks where technical players to
play in the box are very much needed, but I think a fast player with objective
and being direct can have success everywhere,” he added.
